We’ve got breakout sessions, customer stories, demos, and more. Below, see some of the highlights happening at this year’s TIBCO NOW.

Attend Blockchain in the Enterprise, happening on Wednesday, September 5th at 2 pm, where we’ll look at blockchain’s ability to deliver information via a shared, trusted distributed network and how it presents many potential benefits for a number of industries, especially when combined with techniques from the IoT and AI communities. You’ll learn how to determine the value of a blockchain for your enterprise, along with things to consider (including myths) for a successful blockchain enterprise implementation.

In another exciting session happening on Thursday, September 6th at 10 am, Blockchain: Make Smart Contracts Smarter, we’ll discuss how smart contracts have the potential to change the way applications are built. From their ability to securely execute business logic to the automation of business transactions across a blockchain network, smart contracts represent a huge opportunity for organizations who venture into this technology. Join this session to learn more about smart contracts, their use within an enterprise/permission blockchain deployment, and how to greatly simplify smart contract development.

We’re pumped for our blockchain panel happening on Tuesday, September 4th, where TIBCO customers will get together with TIBCO blockchain experts to look at the strides made in healthcare to implement blockchain.
